=== Local transit ===
The [[Greater Lynchburg Transit Company]] (GLTC) operates the local [[public transport bus service]] within the city. The GLTC additionally provides the shuttle bus service on the Liberty University campus.

The [[Greater Lynchburg Transit Company|GLTC]] selected a property directly across from [[Lynchburg-Kemper Street Station (Virginia)|Lynchburg-Kemper Street Station]] as its top choice of sites upon which to build the new transfer center for their network of public buses. They were interested in facilitating [[Intermodal passenger transport|intermodal]] connections between GLTC buses and the intercity bus and rail services which operate from that location. The project was completed and opened to the public on June 16, 2014.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.newsadvance.com/news/local/long-awaited-gltc-transfer-center-to-open-next-week/article_d4cefe2e-ef82-11e3-a507-0017a43b2370.html |title=Long-awaited GLTC transfer center to open next week |last=Petska |first=Alicia |work=NewsAdvance.com |access-date=March 14, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.newsadvance.com/news/local/gltc-opens-new-transfer-center/article_3a9d82c0-f569-11e3-b25d-001a4bcf6878.html |title=GLTC opens new transfer center |last=Petska |first=Alicia |work=NewsAdvance.com |access-date=March 14, 2018}}</ref>
